TOWIE’S Ella Rae Wise has denied dumping Dan Edgar to go on Celebrity Big Brother, as she revealed the “real reason” she broke up with him.
The former couple called it quits 18 months after getting together, just days before she went into the famous house in April.
The Only Way Is Essex returned with a bang last night, bringing fans an explosive start to the series.
One of the storylines that was featured in the first episode of season 36 was Ella and Dan’s break-up.
The pair split just days before Ella entered the CBB house, with the split blamed on this.
However, the REAL reason behind why they parted ways was revealed on last night’s Towie.
It came during an argument with Jordan Brook over his lack of support for Ella when she was on Celebrity Big Brother.
He said he couldn’t post on social media about Ella being in the house because his friend Dan was “going through a lot” at that time.
In response, a furious Ella then revealed how she hadn’t dumped Dan to go on the show, but because of his partying.
In a heated argument, she said: “Do you know what your f***ing best mate did to me before I went in (into the CBB house)?”
Pointing to Jordan’s girlfriend Sophie Kasaei, Ella said: “Sophie wouldn’t stand for it if you went on a bender!”

“I think she’s an absolutely beautiful girl and, look, at the end of the day, if they are exploring things I wish them all the best,” she told Closer.
When asked if she knew Chloe, she replied: “No, we don’t really have mutual friends.”
